This is not a LFS issue but a Linux issue when you emule it with "WINE"

Thank you for your answers.
Yes Shift-C fix (temporary) the bug

But anyway we need an official fix

Hello,

If you join a server through the "/join=" argument, sometimes the FFB of the wheel doesn't work...

After some investigation it is due to server name argument with color (^1 etc...) or not
If you use colored name of the server, the FFB will not work...and if you use it without color, it will perfectly works illepall

Really strange bug, I don't see how colored name can change FFB activation...

Wheel : Logitech DFP

I had the same issue with my graphic card. It just did a tiny move in AGP Slot...

So remove your graphic card and put it again in your AGP / PCI Express SLOT, this should fix it.

Otherwise it's probably some overheating or bugged graphic card

And what I answer to those people ? Nothing or I told them to go away.

Why I don't delete/ban them ? Because anyone can say anything if it's not a personal offense against someone else (or useless posts, like flood). Yes my forum is not censured, I hate censure.

I'm sorry but i don't pirate softwares Becky Rose
Believe me or not, but I bought most softwares/games I use, around 90%. illepall

And that's really big percentage : most young people (like me) buy only 20% of softwares in France...even 0% for some of them...
Maybe you have even more pirated softwares than me !

So please don't lie about me I hate that, you don't know me.

NB : If you thought I pirate softwares because, for example, I released a NOCD on my website, you are totally wrong. I use NOCD to prevent using original CD/DVD in my drive (too bad to insert all CD/DVD when you play a game !), nothing more (and many people do that)

[Sorry for being "off topic", but I hate people lying about me ]

Quote from Becky Rose :

If they beat me in a race, that I care about

So you care about me

Yes I like PoC, it is good to eat

@DEVIL 007 : Hi !
@keiran : Thank you for advertising :jester:

But you are wrong about the guy that made the hotlap. Proof ?
"Of course he did, using the "contact us" section of the LFS homepage."

Now you can go away from this topic...

Quote from DasBoeseC :

@Phlos - Did he post here to inform the Devs? Did he try to inform the Devs at all? Not as far as I know.....

Showing that an exploit works to increase the preasure for a new patch is an old concept, but it does not have to work this way with LFS, right?

LFS is not Microsoft.....here you can TALK to the Devs.....AND: THEY LISTEN AND CARE!

Good point but if he didn't used this "stuff" to get all WR (or at least "many"), it is a Proof of Concept and not a Cheat !

Anyway I think he just did one WR with this "bug", so it's clearly a "PoC".

Are you gonna ban him for a "PoC" ? illepall
Devs should only ban cheaters, not "hackers" that help improving LFS to be "bug-free"

In computer security sending this hotlap is called "proof of concept" or "exploit" : it is a common term to refer to a piece of software that takes advantage of a bug, glitch or vulnerability.

Why hackers made most exploit publicly available (like this hotlap) ? illepall

The main reason is to speed up the release of a software patch ! If you don't do that, this will take a lot of time because for software compagny it's always better to release new softwares (they win $$$) than fixing old ones (they lost $$$)

So if you want to ban him, you are just stupid : it was only a "proof of concept". If he was using this to be first in all hotlaps, yes it was just a cheat and not a "PoC", and you should ban him forever. But this is not the case !

Be smart guys, make the good choice...

Quote from AutoPilot :

Actually I think the bug does work on all tracks, but it's only usable on those tracks where the 1st split takes (noticeably) more time than the rest of the lap. Just observe what he did: he first crossed finish, went back till 1st split to get it, and then back to finish. He drove two 2nd sectors + some overhead vs 1st + 2nd.

So it doesn't work on all tracks illepall

Seems to work on all tracks and cars...awesome bug !

EDIT : Hmm no, it doesn't work on all tracks (for example Blackwood).

Hello,

Someone knows where can i find the skin of the current Kimi Raikkonen helmet please ?

Basically where can i find all F1 drivers helmets ? Any Pack ?

Thank you.

Quote from Sawyer :

The only way for this to work would be if the skins are loaded into memory of your GFX card only. I havent heard about anybody extracting anything for a GFX yet since all hacks are done to extract stuff from computer memory only and nobody did yet need to crack textures. But for this LFSW would need much more bandwidth. An easy solution around this is that they allow us to host or own skins on or own webhosts. I'm sure everyone has at last 10MB free webspace from his ISP.

And how is it loaded in GFX memory ? illepall
Well anyway it's not a big deal. As some people already said, Scawen should make a tiny file format (jpgx) that encrypts skins files. When a user download them via LFSWorld, he downloads the encrypted jpg file (jpgx) that will be store in skin_x directory.

So the game load it, decrypt it in memory and show it on car, simple as that

Why are you talking about extracting decrypted skin from memory ? illepall
99.9% of thoses skins stealer are just kids that stole skins from skin_x directory, they are not able at all to extract skins from memory, it's a hard task.
They will probably don't even know that the skins are decrypted in memory or even encrypted on hard disk ("how shit i cannot open them with Photoshop, i'm wondering why ").

Quote from KiDCoDEa :

thats suberb. you have a new scene to hack now. cya.

Lamer.

It owns LFS. Tyres physic are just awesome as everything else

I didn't like the demo but i love the full game. It sounds weird at the beginning, but after around 20/30 laps it's sounds real driving/physics
